Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 36 Bitter Root

A wilderness area, somewhere in the mountains and forests.

On the south side of the forest, there is a clear spring with clear green water. It gushes out from between the rocks, breathing out the innocent beauty and flowing with the meaning of life.

Passing through rugged rocks, they converged in a low-lying area, forming a small pool. The water was as clear and transparent as a mirror, reflecting several huge figures.

Several monsters on the shore of the pond, like devout believers, crawled their huge bodies towards the small pond.

On a strange rock in the flowing clear spring, a medicinal plant that looks like a blackwood branch is struggling in its cracks, its branches and leaves waving in the wind, emitting a faint halo.

"Hoohoho!"

Suddenly, the crawling monster stood up, stared at one direction with its ferocious eyes, opened its big mouth full of fangs, and let out a series of low growls.

Yang Wu slowly walked out of the woods. After discovering the traces of the spirits of plants and trees, he abandoned the herd of beasts that were wreaking havoc to the east and headed south alone.

"One, two, three, four, five, six. Tsk tsk, it's obviously impossible to gather six intermediate beast generals in such a short time."

"It seems that you are quite spiritual!"

"Hoohoho..."

All he got in response was a series of low growls and the figure of a monster flying towards him. Yang Wu suddenly felt bored, and he exerted force and rushed forward in an instant.

"Destroy the world..."

In the blink of an eye, a streak of light flashed by, and six corpses flew high into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground around them. Only Yang Wu and the lonely Ku Xuangen were left at the scene.

"Om..."

A strange fragrance wafted into Yang Wu's nose, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to normal in an instant.

"Ah."

"Sure enough, your strange fragrance has a hallucinogenic effect. No wonder those six intermediate beast commander-level monsters are willing to bow down to you and be commanded by you."

Yang Wu had long suspected that this strange fragrance had a psychedelic effect and had made preparations for it.

The willow tree, the spirit of plants in the foggy island, is very aggressive. Its effect is comparable to the bitter root in the heart of a thousand-year-old willow. How could it not have some special abilities?

Unfortunately, if it was Yang Wu a month ago, it might have had some effect, but for Yang Wu after his state of mind improved, it was just a trance.

What's more, Yang Wu in the simulation showed no signs of having been drugged, which was the real reason why Yang Wu dared to come here boldly.

As if it was making its last struggle, the halo it emitted was rapidly expanding, and the strange fragrance it emitted was becoming stronger and stronger.

Yang Wu simply pulled out the bitter root by its roots, put it into the alloy box that had been prepared long ago, and then ran quickly towards the highway.

Don't stay here for long!

In less than a moment, a large number of monsters attracted by the strange fragrance seemed to have lost their minds and continued to gather towards the small pond.

……

There is no moon tonight.

In the night sky, there are only a few sparse stars, tirelessly embellishing the dark sky.

Looking in the distance towards the supply base, in this dark night, stands a tall lighthouse.

It shines brightly, guiding the warriors back home.

On the highway, Yang Wu, who had successfully completed his goal, drank a sip of water, took a high-energy sugar pill, put on his backpack again, and quickly headed towards the supply base.

Although it was dangerous to travel on this moonless night, it did not make Yang Wu slow down his pace.

There's nothing we can do. It's going to rain. "Boom boom—"

"rumble--"

More than half an hour later, just as Yang Wu stepped into the gate of the base, a strong wind hit him on time.

Sometimes there was thunder, sometimes there was lightning, and with a thunderclap, heavy rain poured down.

After passing the identity verification and facing the guards' surprised gaze, Yang Wu took the key and returned to his temporary villa.

After rushing into the bathroom to take a shower and changing into pajamas, Yang Wu returned to the living room and carefully took out the alloy box from his backpack.

Although this is just a temporary villa, it is very safe. No fool would dare to install surveillance, which is a taboo.

Even the communication watches sold by the HR Alliance only have locators installed secretly.

Even though they have a near-monopoly, they dare not openly install backdoors.

Surveillance is even more taboo. You know, warriors also have genders.

He opened the alloy box and found the bitter root lying quietly inside. The strange fragrance had dissipated after it was pulled out. Although he wanted to take it immediately, Yang Wu knew that
It's not convenient here!
……

TRAIN STATION.

It is always the busiest place with the most people.

The long train slowly entered the station, and then the harsh sound of the wheels braking was heard. As the train doors opened, a large number of passengers got off one after another.

Suddenly, a boiling and noisy sound began to spread throughout the originally quiet station.

Yang Wu got off the train, looked around, then walked along the warrior passage, took the special car of the Extreme Martial Arts School, and returned to Mingyue Community.

Early in the morning, in the quiet community, many residents went out leisurely, some for a walk, some for a chat, and some for a morning jog.

A heavy rain last night washed away the summer heat, and the cool breeze in the early morning brought the freshness of nature and washed away people's worries.

"Brother Yang!"

"Hello, Brother Yang!"

"Good morning, Brother Yang!"

The entrance to the community was not far from the villa, and all the warriors he met along the way, regardless of age, greeted him and called him Brother Yang.

Yang Wu just nodded in confusion. He thought he had only been out for a day or two, so how could everyone become like this?

What Yang Wu didn't know was that since the last negotiation between Luo Feng and Zhang Zehu, the news that he was using the A6 model Pojun spear had spread.

As a warrior, how could you not know about the A6 weapon? This is a weapon that only high-level generals can use, of course, mid-level generals can also use it.

Afterwards, Yang Wu went into the wilderness alone and returned safely. In the eyes of the warriors in the community, his true strength became a mystery.

Driven by curiosity, some warriors went to ask the director Wu Tong. It was not until a few days ago that Wu Tong announced Yang Wu's recently updated warrior level.
Advanced general level!
What a concept, the supervisor level of the Extreme Gym. You should know that even among the three leaders of the Extreme Gym, the strongest one, Director Wu Tong, is only at the mid-level general level.

A big shot moved into Mingyue Community, which made the people living in the community feel proud.

However, the huge gap in strength made them no longer dare to call Yang Wu casually as they did before.

At the suggestion of a clever warrior, the warriors in Mingyue Community changed their words and followed Luo Feng in calling Yang Wu "Brother Yang".
